Chapter 65 Section VII

The Mid-Autumn Festival moon hangs on the treetops, like a round lantern, casting white light into the watchtower through the small windows of the wooden watchtower.In the watchtower there was only a floor the size of a dining table, on which Cheng Shaobo and Guo Shengsan barely stood.This is the temporary cell carefully selected by Kawashima for them. It is a simple wooden house outside the gate for shelter from wind and rain. Therefore, only one person can move around, and the two are a bit crowded.Kawashima said it was conducive to introspection.He also said that everyone is sick, and if we set up a prison cell alone, we need one more person to guard it. It is better to hand it over to a guard like this. Anyway, people don’t run fast without bullets, and anyone who dares to run will shoot!

Chuan Dao has stopped everyone from continuing to take medicine, and personally led troops to Fengtian to arrest people.He vowed to arrest Fan Chenxiang and force him to make another antidote. This is what he heard from Guo Shengsan, as long as he drinks the antidote, he can save himself from danger.But the antidote must be prepared by the person who prepares the poison. If others don't know what the poison is, they will not be able to prepare the antidote.Therefore, he must start with Fan Chenxiang to save the defeat, so as not to be questioned by his superiors. Now, it is estimated that Kawashima and his party have already arrived in Fengtian, and they will return soon after they are caught.

Guo Shengsan was very upset with Cheng Shaobo, Chuan Dao, and himself at the same time.He was annoyed that Cheng Shaobo shouldn't let Fan Chenxiang mess around; he was annoyed that Chuan Dao treated him indiscriminately; he was annoyed at himself that he shouldn't tell the truth, he shouldn't know anything.Now, must escape.He ran home and asked Guo Yanxiong to negotiate with Chuan Dao and distinguish him from Cheng Shaobo, otherwise he would suffer immediate losses.After he made up his mind, he whispered to Cheng Shaobo: "Shaobo, don't be angry with me again. I really can't say no. The problem now is that it's too late for us not to run away."

Cheng Shaobo said: "I caused this. How can I blame you, but how can we run away?" Guo Shengsan took out a small piece of thick cloth bag from his underwear. After opening it carefully, there was a needle and a small paper bag inside. He pointed to the paper bag and said, "This is curare poison, also called see Seal the throat with blood, dip a needle in it, pierce into the flesh of the person, and the person will die in a minute, and this sentry will be done with one needle.” Cheng Shaobo knew that it was the sap of a kind of arrow poison tree in the south, and it could seal the throat with blood, so he nodded and said, "I'll call the sentry to the small window."

Guo and Sheng nodded and stuck the needle point into the paper bag a few times, ready to go. Cheng Shaobo then shouted to the sentry post: "Imperial Army, I want to have a bowel movement." The sentry muttered, walked to the small window and looked in, then put a hand in. Guo Shengsan knew that he wanted a silver dollar, so he took out a silver dollar from his pocket and handed it over. When the sentry came to pick it up, he stabbed the tip of a needle into that hand.The sentry immediately let out a strange cry, and cursed inwardly.Guo Shengsan quickly put on a smile, pretending to apologize, and then the sentry went to unlock the door, and at the same time, he also fell to the ground with a thud.

Cheng Shaobo pulled Guo Shengsan up, opened the door and ran away, fearing that he would run into someone on the road, he would jump over the ditches on the side of the road and flee.After running for about a mile, I heard the shouts and gunshots of the pursuers. "Run, we can't let them catch them back!" Guo Shengsan said out of breath. "It's really impossible, let's run separately, I will lead them away, and you find a place to hide." Cheng Shaobo said while running. "Let's run, young uncle, I appreciate your words, uncle." Guo Shengsan seemed to be very touched while running and said.

It was the night of mid-autumn, and the round moon shone brightly on the earth. Although it was not as far away as it could be seen during the day, it still had a hazy visibility at a considerable distance.In order to confuse the pursuers, Cheng Shaobo and Guo Shengsan chose a place with woods to run.There are trees in the woods to cover it, so it is not easy to be found.However, the sound of two people stumbling and breaking branches attracted the keen-eared Japanese wolfhounds, and the pursuers still couldn't get rid of them, and the distance was getting closer and closer. At this moment, the sound of running water was heard in front of him, and then, a big river lay in front of him!

"Okay! Liu River! They won't be able to catch up if they swim past it." Cheng Shaobo recognized this big river in Zhangwu. "But I don't know how to swallow water." Guo Shengsan couldn't help feeling a little desperate. "Then I'll swim over, you find a place to hide, don't make a sound, I will attract them by making more noise!" "It has to be like this." Guo Shengsan said, "In case I let them arrest me, my nephew must send a letter to my family, asking your brother Guo Yanxiong to excuse me." "Don't worry! As long as I can go back and don't enter my house, I have to send a letter to my elder brother first."

"It's a deal! There will be a date later!" Guo Shengsan said and ran up the woods upstream. Hearing that the pursuers were approaching, Cheng Shaobo took off his clothes, rolled them into a ball, put them on his head, and dived into the river step by step against the rolling waves.In order to attract the pursuers, he deliberately made the river rush. The pursuers at the back heard the sound of water and fired several shots into the water. Cheng Shaobo felt his back was pushed and his legs seemed to heat up. He didn't pay much attention at that time, but then his chest became more and more stuffy. That leg also gradually became heavy, and he swam tightly for a while.When I got to the opposite bank, I touched the bank, and the hot spot on my leg was sticky and smelled like blood.At the same time, I felt something hot dripping down my back, and when I touched it, there was a sticky smell of blood, so I knew I had been shot, so I quickly tore off my sleeves and bandaged the two wounds.

At this time, I suddenly heard the barking of dogs on the other side, and I felt ominous in my heart, and then I heard Guo Shengsan's miserable cry: "My God! This is retribution! Let me pay back the Cheng family's life!" Afterwards, the people barked and the dogs barked, which was extremely tragic, and suddenly both people and dogs fell silent again.Cheng Shaobo guessed that Guo Shengsan must have used blood to seal his throat against the wolf dog again, and maybe he accidentally stabbed himself at the same time... Cheng Shaobo thought, what did Guo Shengsan mean by "Let me pay back their Cheng family's life"?I didn't want to understand it, I felt dizzy, and then lost consciousness...
